Ok, since I have both boards in my possession I thought I might do a comparison between them for [H]. This will be my first review of this kind so please bare with me here.
I've just bought the Gigabyte to replace the Asus, not because the Asus has been a bad board. The p8z77-v pro has been rock solid for the week I've been running it. The Gigabyte simply offers a few built in features that I found more useful to me. Namely the better onboard sound, extra lan port and a couple other odds and ends.
So my question to [H] is what benchmarks do you want me to run with each board?
I can do bechmarks one of three ways...
run benchmarks once
run benchmarks 3-5 times and get a avrage (I personally like this way better)
run benchmarks 3-5 times and put each score up (although I can put the low and high score up as well if I run benchmarks more then 5 times).
I will be installing windows 7 Pro 64 Bit freash to my samsung 256GB 830 SSD before benchmarking the boards.
**EDIT**
Sorry guys this fell through, a friend made a offer on the i7 and I've already sent the unopened gigabyte back to newegg. This is probably for the better. I'll likely be going for a LGA2011 build in a short while...
